Day 359 - Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day arrived very quickly. The girls were amazed at all the presents that awaited them from Santa in the lounge room. Ava quickly ripped into her presents while Olivia tore one strip of paper at a time and delicately gave Shane her rubbish. The babies were a hit, this afternoon after their nap, the girls got up and fed their babies their bottle. I just loved this photo of Olivia, she just looks so sweet feeding her baby. It was a lovely day spent with family and friends.

Day 356 - Wrapping Time

Tonight was the official wrapping of all presents night ready for Christmas. I spread out all the girls presents from us and Santa and set about wrapping. I am all for keeping things even and encouraging sharing, so there are always presents for them to open together and share what it is inside. This year, we are sharing lots of puzzles and board games. I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas day when the presents miraculously appear under the tree.

Day 354 - Presents for those less fortunate

Today we purchased presents for the Bernados Wishing Tree at the Fun Factory. Together the girls and I purchased a present each and picked one for Shane to give to those who aren't as lucky as we are. Olivia helped me to package them up into the gift bags, ready for delivery to the fun factory tomorrow. I'll be doing my best to instill in them the need to continue this tradition while they are young, that when they are old enough to do it themselves, they keep the tradition alive.
